Introduction: Malleolar injuries are the most common significant lower extremity fractures. These injuries gain importance, because the whole body weight is transmitted through the ankle, and locomotion depends on the stability of the ankle. Open reduction and internal fixation have become the mainstay of treatment for most of the unstable bi/trimalleolar fractures, as these operative methods restores the anatomy, biomechanics and contact loading characteristics of the ankle. To study the functional outcome of surgically treated bi/trimalleolar fractures of ankle in adults. Methods: A prospective study of 40 cases of bi/trimalleolar fractures of ankle in adults, managed surgically by various techniques in Chettinad Hospital And Research Institute, Kelambakkam, between June 2018 to April 2019, satisfying the inclusion and exclusion criteria were studied. The functional outcome was evaluated using the Biard and Jackson's ankle scoring system at the end of six month follow up. Results: In our study we achieved 82.5% excellent to good results, 12.5% fair results, 5% poor results. The results were comparable to other studies.TBW done for many PER and PA injuries showed promising results comparable to that with screw fixation and also lesser reports of skin irritation at the wound site. Conclusion: It is the method preferred for small tranverse fragments and osteoporotic bones of both malleoli especially in the elderly.
This paper deals with the construction details of flyover work. which is supposed to make grade separation at intersection and make free movement of traffic. By construction of flyover in vizag town it makes an easy way for the communication of railway station and RTC complex. Also to divert the railway passengers directly to the Railway station, and also clear off the railway station passengers. Flyover is proposed at the heart of the city. Is is mainly used as diverts of Traffic in city.In this paper for the construction of flyover several Investigation survey, design & execution of four lanes carriage way flyover, two lane carriage way underpass of the City. This paper also includes different stages in the flyover construction such as Traffic studies, Soil investigations, Mix design of concrete used. It is a part of BRTS (BUS RAPID TRANSIST SYSTEM) with this system a lot of traffic pollution may cleared and a direct way to the railway station without much obstructions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
